I sit here in my chair, feeling bored, but I don’t care Look out the window and watch the world go by Today is not my day, but I get older anyway I’ll have a cigarette, I’m just killing time
I lie here on my bed, feeling lonely, feeling sad Stare at the paper and watch the world go by You think yesterday’s a curse? Well, today is even worse I’ll have a whisky, I’m just killing time
Chorus: It’s the only thing I know, it’s the only thing I do Since the day you left me I’m a wreck because of you It’s the only thing I know, it’s the only thing I do Since you left me I’m just killing time
At the waterside, salty wind burns in my eyes I count the waves and watch the world go by I’m out here all alone, by myself, just on my own I’ll have a brandy, I’m just killing time
I sit here by the phone, wonder if someone’s at home Don’t feel like calling, I’ll watch the world go by On the news it’s still the same, it’s all blood and war and shame I’ll smoke a big one, I’m just killing time
Chorus:
It’s just around four when someone’s knocking on my door I open up to see these friend of mine They come in with a cheer, saying: “Hey, let’s have a beer!” Down at the pub we’ll be killing time
It’s the only thing we know, it’s the only thing we do Since the day you left us we’re wrecked because of you It’s the only thing we know, it’s the only thing we do Since you left us, we’re just killing time
